My gf and I took our first trip to the South this summer, and our first stop was Kennesaw Mountain. My great great grandfather (69th Ohio Volunteers/Pioneer Brigade) fought under Sherman in the Army of the Cumberland and saw action here and at Chickamauga, Missionary Ridge, Stones River, etc.. Great hike but we definitely weren't used to the humidity. Beautiful views and certainly enjoyed the cannons. This was our first stop on our trip to Chickamauga, Chattanooga, and the Smoky Mountains.

My wife and I were visting her son in Atlanta and decided to get out to see this Civil War site. Really an impressive mountain for the area where you could spend the better part of a day with all the history that goes with it. We hiked over to Little Kennesaw as well.

Enjoyed a crisp, blue-sky day on this trail. Very sobering history permeating the site. Enjoyed the views through the bear trees. Green grass was just starting to pop up through the old leaves left over from autumn. Very nice outing. Hiking partners: Joo-Hi an Troy.

Best hill around Atlanta for a backpacking workout. Most of the folks hiking to the top seem to look at you funny when you have a large pack on. Haven't had much of a chance to explore the place but there are plenty of nice trails other than just the route to the top.

I've climbed Kennesaw several times. It's an quick climb if you just go for the summit. There are nice views of Atlanta from the top. For a more enjoyable hike, start at the main visitor center and hike out to Colb farm and back again. It's about 16 miles round trip.

I climbed it on a nice fall afternoon threatening rain which kept the crowds away, but obscured the views. Climbed to the top, Little Kennesaw, and looped around for about 5 miles. The park has about 18 miles of trails, some of which are little used.
